Posted on behalf of IDEX Metals Corp - The reason a copper-gold porphyry hunt is worth watching right now is the metals it is levered to. Gold is trading above US$4,100/oz and copper is holding around US$6/lb, and a porphyry system carries both, plus molybdenum. IDEX (IDEX.v and IDXMF) is drilling exactly that kind of target at its 100%-owned Freeze project in Idaho, and the next few months bring a defined run of catalysts rather than a single event.

The Metals Backdrop

• Gold sits above US$4,100/oz, up on the day.
• Copper is holding around US$6/lb, with the U.S. reshoring push keeping domestic ground in focus.
• A porphyry that carries copper, gold and molybdenum gives exposure to that whole mix from one system.

What's Turning Now

• One core rig turning at North Breccia, the top-priority 2026 target, with a second rig expected on site in July (see June 24 NR).
• Part of a fully-funded roughly 10,000 m, 20-hole diamond program, holes averaging about 500 m up to a maximum 1,200 m, testing a porphyry target 300 to 800 m below surface (see May 12 NR).

The Catalyst Path

• Expanded 90.4 line-km IP survey complete; final inverted results expected shortly and will feed target refinement during drilling (see June 24 NR).
• First assays from North Breccia to follow once holes wrap. Assay turnaround typically runs about two months from the bit hitting rock (BNN, May 7, 2026).
• A Phase I surface program of roughly 2,250 soil and 250 rock samples is planned to rank a 2027 drill pipeline.

For the full program details, see the company's May 12 news release.

With a rig already turning, inverted IP data due shortly, and first assays behind that, IDEX has a steady sequence of results ahead that could start putting real drill data behind the porphyry thesis it has spent two years building.

Posted on behalf of Getty Copper - Copper has spent 2026 trading near the top of its range, and one TSXV explorer is putting drills into a district-scale land package in BC's Highland Valley aimed right at that setup. Getty Copper, GTC.v and GTCDF, is running its biggest program on this ground in almost three decades, and the reason to watch it now is what that program is built to produce: a first modern resource.

The Copper Backdrop

• Copper is trading around $6.16 a pound, holding above the $6 line even on a slightly softer day across the metals complex.
• The metal has had a strong run this year, with the supply side staying tight and refined output struggling to keep pace with demand.
• Getty is a pure copper-molybdenum play in a Tier-1 Canadian jurisdiction, so the tape matters directly to the story.

The Flagship Catalyst: A Resource at Getty North

• The 2026 program is designed to support a future resource estimate and potentially expand the Getty North porphyry copper deposit.
• Scope was upsized to up to 16,000 m across resource and exploration targets.
• 14 holes have been completed at Getty North so far, and only the first three assays have been reported.
• The opening hole returned 342 m of 0.50% copper, 87 ppm molybdenum and 0.8 g/t silver from 9 m (see the June 22, 2026 news release).
• More assays are expected throughout the summer, with Getty South drilling ongoing and further targets being readied for the fall.

The Ground

• The Getty Project sits next to Teck's operating Highland Valley Copper mine, with Getty controlling roughly a quarter of the district.
• The company is debt-free with about $11M in cash, per its April 8, 2026 outlook.

Full details are in Getty's June 22, 2026 news release on the assay results.

With copper firm, a resource-focused program stretched to 16,000 m, and assays landing in batches through the summer, Getty has both the treasury and the news flow to keep testing ground that sat quiet for nearly 30 years, which sets up the chance to finally put a modern number on it.

Posted on behalf of Silverco Mining - On a recent Palisades Gold Radio episode, financial analyst John Feneck (CEO of the Feneck Consulting Group) walked through the silver setup and named Silverco (SICO.v SICOF) among the producers he likes right now. With silver holding around US$61 an ounce after a strong year, his framing was less about the daily tape and more about who runs the company, how quickly it can produce, and whether the ounces sit where the mine plan needs them.

The Silver Backdrop (per Feneck)

• He views the recent pullback in silver as a medium-term buying opportunity rather than a top.
• Demand is broad across industrial and investment uses, while new mine supply is slow and costly to bring online.
• That rewards low-cost ounces that can reach production quickly, the profile Silverco is chasing.

What Feneck Said About Silverco (around the 25-minute mark)

• Management has added executives from SilverCrest (now Coeur), Wheaton Precious Metals, and the former CEO of MAG Silver.
• The company now has two large silver projects in Mexico with low all-in sustaining costs.
• He described an ambitious plan to grow silver production over the next two to three years.

Drilling Inside the Cusi Footprint

• Cusi is a 100%-owned, permitted, past-producing silver-lead-zinc-gold mine in Chihuahua with a 1,200 tonne-per-day mill.
• Silverco's first underground drilling at Cusi returned 1,712 g/t AgEq over 1.4 m adjacent to near-term planned stopes, confirming mineralization inside the first-year mine-plan footprint (see the June 16, 2026 news release).
• The fully-funded 30,000 metre program is aimed at adding ounces right where the mine will mine first.
• Silverco released a preliminary economic assessment for the Cusi restart (see the April 13, 2026 news release).

The Restart, and La Negra

• Cusi has moved from dewatering and rehabilitation into underground development, with first ore targeted late Q3 2026 and initial concentrate late 2026 (company target).
• La Negra in Querétaro is already producing at roughly 55% of its 2,500 tpd capacity, leaving throughput room to grow, with a resource estimate and mine plan expected in H2 2026.
• Eric Sprott is a 10%+ shareholder.

With one mine producing, a second moving into development, and drills turning at both, Silverco has the pieces in place for management's stated goal of a 10-million-ounce silver equivalent producer within three years, and a run of exploration and development catalysts through H2 2026 that could keep filling in the picture around the flagship restart.

Posted on behalf of Sierra Madre Gold - With silver trading around US$61 an ounce and gold above US$4,100, the interesting question for a producing silver-gold miner isn't just whether it can capture today's prices, it's what it does next. 

Sierra Madre (SM.v, and SMDRF for US investors) answered part of that on June 22, when it closed the acquisition of the past-producing Del Toro silver mine from First Majestic, turning a single-mine producer into a two-asset operator in Mexico. 

Recent posts here have walked through the deal mechanics and the La Guitarra mill expansion, so today let's look at the growth engine that comes with Del Toro.

The Metals Backdrop

• Silver is sitting near US$61/oz and has had a strong year.
• Gold is holding above US$4,100/oz.
• A producer with idle, already-built capacity has real leverage to that move.

Del Toro: A Built Mine, Ready to Be Drilled Out

• Located in the Chalchihuites District, Zacatecas, one of Mexico's historic silver corridors.
• Past-producing from 2013 to 2019, averaging 2.54M oz AgEq per year between 2015 and 2018.
• Comes with a 3,000 tpd flotation plant, 62.5+ km of underground development, and a dry-stack tailings facility already in place.
• Three underground centres: Perseverancia, San Juan and Dolores.

Where the Upside Sits

• Historical resources of 7.57M oz AgEq (measured & indicated) and 11.18M oz AgEq (inferred) per the acquisition disclosure. These are historical estimates, not reserves.
• The company plans roughly 30,000 metres of resource-expansion drilling to support an updated Mineral Resource estimate ahead of a potential restart (see the June 22 closing NR).
• One deal milestone pays First Majestic US$10M if Sierra Madre files an NI 43-101 resource of at least 100M oz AgEq within 48 months, which tells you the size management thinks the district can hold.

The Timeline and the Backing

• - Company-stated plan: begin the Del Toro restart process in mid-2027, with first production targeted mid-2028, and management has said sustained high silver prices could pull that forward by roughly a year.
• - Meanwhile La Guitarra keeps producing and advancing its Phase 1 mill expansion toward 750-800 tpd.
• - First Majestic remains the largest shareholder at about 24.8% after the deal, keeping its skin in the game.

With one mine generating cash today and a second, fully built asset lined up for a drill-led resource story, Sierra Madre has set up two ways to benefit if silver holds these levels, and the coming exploration program is where that second story starts to take shape. Worth reading the Streetwise piece on the closing for the full picture.

Posted on behalf of Daura Gold - With gold trading around US$4,120/oz and silver near US$61/oz, the metal backdrop keeps rewarding high-grade exploration, and for Daura, DGC.v and DGCOF, management has been clear about where that leverage is now pointed: Peru's Antonella project.

The Gold Backdrop

• Gold around US$4,120/oz; silver around US$61/oz, both up slightly on the day.
• Precious metals have had a strong year, and discovery-stage juniors with high-grade rock are where the leverage to the metal actually lives.

Why Antonella Is The Priority:

CEO Mark Sumner has said capital is now weighted toward Antonella over the Argentine projects, and the reasons are straightforward:

• 100%-owned, with no insider royalties on the ground.
• Roughly 10,600 ha in Peru's Ancash region, about 15 km from Barrick's past-producing Pierina mine (district context, not ownership).
• Surface sampling has returned 22.84 g/t gold plus 102 g/t silver at the main zone, and 7.98 g/t gold plus 189 g/t silver at Antonella North (surface grab samples, not drill intercepts).
• Fewer than 30% of the project's veins have been drill tested, with known mineralization from surface to about 60 m and open at depth.

The Pathway to drilling: 

• The gating item is a long-term community access agreement, which management expects to secure before drilling.
• Once access is in hand, the plan runs a high-resolution drone magnetic survey, then geophysics and drill targeting.
• From there, management has said it hopes to mobilize a rig for roughly 2,000 to 3,000m, weather and permitting dependent.

Meanwhile in Argentina, Cerro Bayo Phase 2 step-out drilling plus the first-ever drill test at La Flora are lined up for Q3 2026.

For the Antonella surface figures, see the company's May 13, 2026 news release.

With a confirmed epithermal system already behind it in Argentina and a 100%-owned, high-grade target now front of the queue in Peru, Daura heads into the back half of 2026 with that community-access agreement as the key that could unlock Antonella's first drilling.

Posted on behalf of Azarga Metals - Copper firmed back to around $6.25/lb today, and the more interesting question for a sub-$15M explorer isn't the daily tape, it's where the high-grade pounds actually sit. For Azarga (AZR.v, EUUNF), the answer is a 100%-owned copper-rich VMS in one of the most pedigreed mining districts in the North.

The Commodity Backdrop

• Copper trading near $6.25/lb, up on the day, with the supply side still doing the structural work behind the price
• Silver firm around $59/oz, also higher on the day, which matters because Marg carries real silver credits, not just copper
• A polymetallic VMS like Marg gives exposure to both metals in one rock

The Address: Keno Hill District
Marg sits in Yukon's Keno Hill / Mayo district, a belt with a long silver and base-metals history and active names working nearby, including Hecla and Metallic Minerals. To be clear, those are neighbours, not Azarga's ground. What Azarga owns outright is Marg, and it comes with infrastructure most juniors don't have: a 40 km winter road, Yukon Energy grid power, an on-site airstrip, and all-season highway access toward Skagway.

What's Defined (Aug 28, 2025 NI 43-101, 0.5% CuEq cut-off)

• Indicated: 4.3 Mt @ 2.9% CuEq (1.3% Cu, 42 g/t Ag, 0.66 g/t Au, plus zinc and lead)
• Inferred: 10.0 Mt @ 2.3% CuEq (1.0% Cu, 33 g/t Ag, 0.54 g/t Au)
• Roughly 1,100 m strike, open along strike and down-plunge

The Catalyst Ahead
Per the company's June 23, 2026 news release, Azarga has lined up its first-ever company-run drill program at Marg: over 3,000 m across eight priority holes, anticipated to commence in August 2026, with assays on a rolling basis through the fall. The holes target the resource's open edges plus undrilled structural and geochemical anomalies.

Firm copper, a defined high-grade resource in a proven district, and the company's first drill bit in the ground within weeks. That combination sets up a fall of news flow with room for the market to take a closer look.

For the full details, see the company's June 23, 2026 news release and the Aug 28, 2025 NI 43-101 report.

Posted on behalf of Luca Mining - Most juniors are still drilling a story into this metals tape. Luca is already pulling gold, silver, copper, zinc and lead out of two producing mines in Mexico and selling all of it into a market where nearly every one of those metals is bid.

The Polymetallic Tape

• Gold sitting near record territory, around $4,000 an ounce.
• Silver up on the day, just under $60 an ounce, after a strong year.
• Copper firm above $6 a pound, also higher today.
• Zinc and lead round out the basket Luca produces.

Why It Matters For This Producer

• Campo Morado is a polymetallic VMS mine in Guerrero, turning out zinc and copper concentrates with gold and silver credits, running around 1,900 tpd. 
• Tahuehueto is an epithermal gold-silver mine in Durango at over 1,050 tpd, in commercial production since March 2025. So Luca isn't leveraged to a single metal, it's selling the whole basket into strength right now.

The cash backs it up. 2025 revenue came in at $176.8M, more than double the prior year, and the company reported $36.4M in cash at the end of Q1 2026 (see the April 21 NR).

The Catalyst: More Ounces Next To Infrastructure

• At Campo Morado, two surface rigs and one underground rig are turning, with 16,535 m drilled from surface and 12,035 m from underground so far, expanding unmined zones like El Rey and Naranjo right beside a mill the company already runs (see the June 23 results). 
• Tahuehueto has its own expanded program drilling near existing workings. 
• Both feed the 2026 to 2028 mine plans, and management has laid out a path toward 200,000 gold-equivalent ounces a year over the medium term.

With every metal it produces catching a bid and batches of fresh assays still due across both mines, Luca has the kind of setup where steady newsflow could keep narrowing the gap between a cash-generating producer and how the market is pricing it.

Posted on behalf of Miivo Holdings - The macro tailwind behind this revenue-stage AI SaaS story keeps building, and the part of the market it targets, financial intelligence for small business, is still one of the least-penetrated corners of it. A quick look at Miivo AI's (MIVO.v MIVOF)  setup, and where the flagship product fits.

The Macro Setup

• Microsoft's 2026 Work Trend Index found 72% of small businesses now consider AI integral to at least one core business process, a 25-point jump from 47% the year before.
• Among small businesses using AI, 91% report it boosts revenue and 90% say it improves efficiency, per Salesforce.
• Adoption so far skews to marketing and customer service. Financial AI tools, by contrast, are among the most impactful for long-term sustainability but adoption is still emerging. That gap is the opening.

Where Miivo Fits
The flagship product, the Business Intelligence platform, is built as an "AI Business Advisor" / CFO copilot:

• Connects 50+ data sources (accounting, POS, CRM) into one live dashboard.
• Surfaces where a business actually makes and loses money, plus growth recommendations.
• Positioned as enterprise-grade intelligence made accessible to every small business, delivered through a consultant-plus-AI hybrid rather than self-serve software alone.

The Company Today

• ⁠A few thousand onboarded customers globally. Revenue-stage, not pre-product.
• ⁠Listed on the TSXV and OTCQB plus a Frankfurt listing (L7S).
• Product cadence is real: a self-serve Starter Plan launched in March 2026 and the Lead Finder / "Sales Leads" tool in May 2026.

In a market where SMB AI use is accelerating but financial tools are still the laggard, Miivo sits in the niche it was built for, which positions the company to grow into a tailwind rather than against one.

Posted on behalf of Daura Gold Corp. -  (TSXV: DGC | OTCQB: DGCOF) continues to advance its Argentina portfolio, reporting new high-grade surface sampling results from the La Flora Gold-Silver Project ahead of planned Phase II drilling.

Highlights include:

• Surface samples returned up to 63.88 g/t Au and 175.34 g/t Ag.
• Additional assays included 6.17 g/t Au, 4.77 g/t Au, 4.72 g/t Au, and 3.26 g/t Au.
• Mineralization is hosted within a four-vein array spanning approximately 100 metres, forming part of the broader 1 km-long La Flora vein system.
• Geochemistry (As-Sb-Hg) is consistent with productive low-sulfidation epithermal gold-silver systems in the Deseado Massif.
• Drill permits have been submitted, with La Flora expected to be incorporated into the company's fully funded Phase II drill program planned for Q3 2026.

Alongside encouraging Phase I drilling at Cerro Bayo, these results continue to build Daura's pipeline of district-scale exploration targets. With permitting progressing, new lineament mapping identifying additional prospective structures, and Phase II drilling approaching, the company is positioning for a catalyst-rich second half of 2026.

Posted on behalf of Goldgroup Mining Inc. - The San Francisco restart is moving from planning toward execution with Goldgroup (GGA.v and GGAZF) engaging INPROMINE, a Sonora-based mining construction firm, to service the crushing and conveying equipment and the ADR plants at its 100% owned San Francisco gold project, in preparation for restarting gold production.

The Contract

• US$850,000 to review, service, test and commission the crushing and conveying circuits and the ADR (adsorption-desorption-recovery) plants
• Approximately 16 weeks to complete
• Brings the existing, in-place processing infrastructure back to operating status

What makes this notable is that San Francisco is not a build-from-scratch project. It's a past-producing Sonora open-pit mine, fully permitted, with two open pits, heap leach facilities and associated infrastructure already on site. Recommissioning the plant is one of the concrete steps between here and first gold, which is what makes the restart a lower-capital-intensity path than a greenfield build.

The Asset Behind It

• 1.226M oz Measured & Indicated gold, plus 178K oz Inferred, per the NI 43-101 Technical Report dated May 1, 2026 by Micon International
• A 24,000 m diamond core program now turning, focused on closer-spaced infill to firm up the resource and optimize the mine plan, roughly US$8M and funded in-house, completion expected Q3 2026
• Restart targeting late 2026/early 2027, which the company expects to add at least 40,000 oz of gold per year

All of this sits against a gold price around US$4,000/oz, the kind of backdrop where an already-permitted restart with infrastructure in place carries real weight. 

Goldgroup keeps producing at its Cerro Prieto heap-leach mine in Sonora, and its proposed merger with Gold Resource Corporation goes to a GORO shareholder vote on July 2, with the deal still pending shareholder, court, TSXV and regulatory approvals.

For the full details, see Goldgroup's June 25 news release. With permits in hand, the resource model being tightened, and the processing plant now being brought back to life, Goldgroup is steadily checking off the steps a restart needs, which sets up a late-2026/early-2027 production decision with the pieces already in place.

Posted on behalf of Selkirk Copper Mines Inc. - Selkirk Copper (SCMI.v SKRKF) is working toward its goal of becoming a mid-tier producer of high-quality copper concentrate with gold and silver credits, with the company focused on de-risking the capital cost of a potential restart at the Minto copper-gold project.

As part of that strategy, Selkirk Copper is targeting a 12-15 year mine-life, which CEO Colin Joudrie highlighted will require additional exploration and definition drilling.

Published in July 2025, the updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the Minto copper-gold project incorporated 56,331 meters of drilling from 210 drillholes and 52,973 meters of assays within the Minto models.

The updated MRE outlined an Indicated Mineral Resource of 12.6 million tonnes at 1.20% copper, 0.46 g/t gold and 4.3 g/t silver, representing 334 million pounds of copper, 185,000 ounces of gold and 1.7 million ounces of silver (See the June 7, 2025 press release on SCMI's news page).

As of February 2026, using then spot prices, the company reported an illustrative in-situ value of approximately US$3.0 billion for the Indicated Mineral Resource (not including extraction costs; not a net economic value).

Selkirk Copper is currently advancing a 50,000-meter drill program focused on expanding and extending known mineralized zones at Minto North, Minto East, the Copper Keel underground zones, and the 118 and Ridgetop open pit zones.

Four diamond drills were mobilized to site in August 2025, and by March 2026, more than 48,000 meters of diamond drilling had been completed across 164 drill holes.

Initial assay results expanded the previously identified high-grade Minto North West mineralized zone by up to 90%.

The company is also advancing district-wide exploration using geoscientific understanding from the current drill program, along with geophysics, geochemistry and surface sampling.

It is testing copper-gold-silver exploration targets identified by the previous operator within the mine-site footprint and immediately north of Minto, with early assay results reinforcing the company’s view that the Minto property has meaningful expansion potential.

Please see Selkirk Copper's website for more information.

Posted on behalf of Tiger Gold Corp - With the Emerging Growth Conference, CEO Robert Vallis walked through where Tiger Gold (TIGR.v TGRGF) stands today at its flagship Quinchía Gold Project in Colombia's Mid-Cauca belt, and the forward plan is the real story here.

The Setup

• Quinchía sits in the Mid-Cauca belt, kilometers down the road from Aris Mining and Collective Mining.
• The property is fully enabled with infrastructure.
• The Miraflores and Tesorito deposits already hold 2 million oz combined within the existing PEA, and Miraflores is fully permitted for construction and operation.

The Path to Doubling

• Tesorito infill drilling is underway, with grades and tons feeding an upgraded resource.
• The Ceibal discovery is being drilled aggressively: two rigs now, with another two and potentially a third moving in over the next couple of months.
• Vallis believes Ceibal is [1:14] "at least the size of Tesorito, likely larger."
• The stated target: a doubling of the resource base from 2 million oz to over 4 million oz by year-end.

On that year-end goal [1:27]: "that really marches towards a firm doubling of our resource base from 2 million oz to over 4 million oz by the end of the year."

The Catalyst Timeline

• Tesorito infill to be completed by year-end, setting up next-stage pre-feasibility engineering.
• A rebooted PEA in Q1 2027, built on the 4-plus-million-ounce base plus the new Ceibal resource and a higher-grade, larger Tesorito resource from the infill work.
• Vallis framed that update [2:21] as one that will demonstrate "an order of magnitude increase in scope, scale, and value of this project."
• Drilling continues into 2027 at Chuscal, a discovery in its own right, plus other targets up the corridor north of Tesorito.

De-Risked and Funded

• A recently closed financing round added about $21 million to the treasury to accelerate the program and move from exploration into true project development.
• Final cash payment made, about C$4 million (A$4.5 million), to complete the option and take 100% of the property.

With the asset now wholly owned, the treasury topped up, and rigs turning toward a year-end resource that management expects to double the base, Tiger is positioning to step from explorer to developer with a 2027 PEA as the next marker. And with gold trading around $4,080/oz, the run into that catalyst sequence has room to work in the company's favor.

Posted on behalf of Toogood Gold Corp. – Joining Jay Taylor Media, Toogood Gold (TGC.v TGGCF) CEO detailed the company's new primary focus, the Table Mountain Project, a near-term discovery opportunity.

Table Mountain Becomes the Focus 

• Table Mountain, Nevada is now the company's primary focus. 
• Management sees it as a near-term discovery opportunity while continuing systematic work at the Newfoundland project. 
• Project has never been drilled and is interpreted as an intact low-sulfidation epithermal gold system.

 

Why Management Likes the Project

• Large 4 km x 2 km alteration footprint comparable in scale to Nevada's Arthur Gold system. 
• Surface work identified multiple gold- and silver-bearing epithermal veins. 
• Located about 10 km south of the Atlanta Mine in an underexplored but mineral-rich district.

 

2026 Exploration Plans

• Phase 1 includes: 
  • 6,100+ soil samples. 
  • Ground gravity and drone magnetic surveys. 
  • Geological mapping and rock sampling.

   

• Management is targeting a 2,000–3,000 m maiden drill program in fall 2026.

 

Financial Position

• Over C$3 million in cash. 
• Existing treasury is expected to fund current exploration and reach the initial drill program. 
• Additional financing may be considered depending on market conditions.

 

Newfoundland Project

• Remains an important long-term asset. 
• 2026 work will focus on soil sampling, mapping and structural studies while Table Mountain drives near-term news flow.

 

Near-Term Catalysts

• Soil survey results. 
• Geophysical survey results. 
• Ongoing technical updates. 
• Maiden drill program at Table Mountain later this year.

SHORT FORM: 
Posted on behalf of Toogood Gold Corp. – Joining Jay Taylor Media, Toogood Gold (TGC.v TGGCF) CEO detailed the company's new primary focus, the Table Mountain Project, a near-term discovery opportunity.

Management outlined why the undrilled Nevada project has become the company's immediate priority, highlighting its large alteration footprint, planned fall drill program, and the potential for a maiden discovery supported by an aggressive 2026 exploration campaign.

Posted on behalf of Spartan Metals Corporation - Today's assay results from the past-producing Antelope Mine, part of the Rees Claims at the 100%-owned Eagle Project in Nevada, put a number on something the team has been chasing: a silver-antimony-copper system that looks far bigger than the historic workings ever touched. Spartan (W.v SPRMF) is mainly a tungsten story, but the critical-mineral angle here runs straight through the antimony.

Backpack Core Drill (STS-26-008)

• 688 g/t silver over 0.3 m, with 0.67% copper, 0.30% antimony and 1,336 ppm arsenic
• Collared in a surface exposure of the Antelope vein about 30 m from the mine portal; weather paused the hole at 0.3 m, with follow-up drilling planned

Surface Rock Sampling

• Silver above 1,000 g/t, including values of 1,927, 1,779, 1,674, 1,569, 1,510 and 1,234 g/t
• Antimony up to 0.67%
• Copper up to 1.83%

Scale Of The System

• Sampling has defined a mineralized footprint of roughly 1.3 km by 0.6 km
• The historically mined extent ran only about 50 m along strike, so the sampled area is dramatically larger

Why The Antimony Matters
Silver near $58/oz and copper around $6/lb make the grades easy to appreciate, but it's the antimony that gives this its strategic weight. CEO Brett Marsh called the antimony "especially noteworthy" given its growing importance to US critical-mineral and national-security initiatives, the same supply-chain theme driving Spartan's tungsten work. The Ag-Sb-As assemblage here matches the historical production records for the mine.

What's Next

• Spartan is assessing expanding its ground geophysics to cover Antelope to test the lateral and vertical extent
• Continued surface and backpack core sampling across the Rees Claims
• Roughly 3,000 m of diamond core drilling at high-priority Eagle targets slated for early to mid-August

A district that produced over a 50 m strike now sampling across more than a kilometre is exactly the kind of expansion that supports Spartan's multi-system model at Eagle, and with geophysics and August drilling ahead, there's room to start testing just how far this runs.

Posted on behalf of Intrepid Metals Corp. - A new field and core tour of Intrepid's (INTR.v IMTCF) flagship Corral Copper Project, in Cochise County, Arizona, shows the drill core to century-old workings to the broader Bisbee mining district.

The Core

• Hole 23 returned 113 m of 1.5% copper and over half a gram gold, with one roughly 24 m cut at 4.47% copper.
• That section included a roughly 30 cm interval of near-massive chalcocite. The geologist on the video: "almost massive chalcocite which is going to run about 29% copper in its pure state" [2:11].
• He calls it "a phenomenal intersection at today's prices" [3:21].
• Hole 11, nearby at Ringo, ran over 100 m of 1% copper starting right at surface.

A 3 km Trend, 300 to 400 m Wide

• Mineralization is now traced about 3 km from the Holliday zone in the north to Ringo in the south, roughly 300 to 400 m wide.
• Holliday's very first hole: 124 m of 0.52% copper plus gold.
• Standing atop Ringo, the team notes "20 m below us is where we get into massive copper grade" [8:48], and flags a new zone plus an untested area to the west showing porphyry potential.
• A possible enrichment blanket of black copper oxide below remains uninvestigated, and the team still sees tremendous search space along the trend.

Infrastructure Already in Place

• Established road access, nearby dual rail lines to the west coast, Interstate 10, and reliable grid power from the regional Apache generating station, the kind of setup that would be costly to replicate.

The Bisbee Analog

• Corral sits about 40 km from Bisbee, described in the video as a "multi-generational 8 billion pound copper deposit" [12:24] that also carried 3 million ounces of gold, rare for Arizona.
• Like Bisbee, Corral shows oxide at surface grading into a sulfide enriched cap around 50 m down.

On Economics

• - The team frames a likely open pit as "a volume grade problem" [10:46], walking through mining, milling and refining costs and concluding there is still "plenty of room to make a profit" [10:31], with copper near US$6/lb and gold above US$4,000/oz today.

With the core carrying the grade story and a 3 km trend the team says still has room to grow, the tour points squarely at what is around the corner: a new zone, an untested porphyry target to the west, and a possible enrichment blanket below, all still to be drilled out.

Posted on behalf of Carrier Connect Data Solutions Inc - The Radian Arc partnership got its headline earlier this month. Here is the practical version of what CCDS.v and CCDSF actually put in motion, and why it is a different kind of move than buying another building.

Who Brings What

• Radian Arc, a Submer Group company, supplies the GPU technology. 
• CCDS supplies the place to run it. 
• Under the agreement, PureColo's data centre facilities and Carrier's network interconnection platform will host Radian Arc's GPU edge platform, enabling telecommunications operators, enterprises and AI service providers to deliver ultra-low latency cloud gaming and sovereign AI services across Canada and the United States.

 

Two Service Lines

• Radian Arc Cloud Gaming: carrier-grade cloud gaming infrastructure capable of delivering premium gaming experiences directly to smartphones, PCs, Smart TVs and Set-Top Boxes aimed at telecom operators and digital service providers.
• InferX GPUaaS: a white-label GPU-as-a-Service platform, enabling enterprises, governments and AI innovators to rapidly deploy sovereign AI infrastructure using dedicated GPU clusters optimized for AI training, inference and agentic workloads.

Why It Matters For CCDS

• CCDS is moving from leasing rack space toward hosting higher-value GPU compute on data centers it already operates. 
• The initial deployment will establish strategic GPU edge locations across North America

Powered by Radian Arc's edge GPU software stack, the platform combines GPU orchestration, storage, networking and AI workload management into a unified infrastructure layer, allowing customers to launch AI and gaming services without building complex GPU platforms themselves.

A compute layer on top of an existing footprint is a credible way to lift the value of space already in the ground. The terms and the rollout specifics are what could turn the framework into revenue.

Posted on behalf of Azarga Metals - Copper's story right now has less to do with the daily tape than with structure, and that backdrop is the lens worth using on a sub-$15M Yukon explorer that's about to drill for the first time. Copper is trading around $5.94/lb after a pullback today, but the more durable signal is on the supply side.

Copper's Setup

• The ICSG has dropped its earlier surplus call and now forecasts a roughly 150,000-tonne deficit for 2026, which it frames as the market's first structural shortage since 2009.
• The concentrate market, where mined copper actually enters the chain, is the tight spot: analysts expect it to remain tight for years, with a cumulative deficit of ~3 million tonnes projected by 2036.
• New supply is slow by nature. In developed regions, opening new mines often takes 20 to 30 years.

That is the why-now for high-grade pounds in a Tier-1 jurisdiction. Which is where Azarga's 100%-owned Marg project comes in.

The Marg Resource (Aug 28, 2025 NI 43-101, IMC Mining, 0.5% CuEq cut-off)

• Indicated: 4.3 Mt @ 2.9% CuEq (1.3% Cu, 42 g/t Ag, 0.66 g/t Au, plus zinc and lead)
• Inferred: 10.0 Mt @ 2.3% CuEq
• A copper-rich VMS in Yukon's Keno Hill district, open along strike and down-dip

The Catalyst: First Company-Led Drilling

• Azarga has engaged Platinum Diamond Drilling for the first drill campaign the company has ever run at Marg
• Over 3,000 metres planned across eight priority holes
• Anticipated to commence in August 2026, with assays on a rolling basis
• Targets known-zone extensions plus undrilled structural and geochemical anomalies

A defined high-grade resource that's still open, funded work in the bank, and a maiden company-led program landing into a copper market that keeps repricing scarcity. That combination sets up a fall of news flow with real reason to watch.

Details are in the company's June 23 news release.

Posted on behalf of Sierra Madre Gold and Silver Ltd. - Recent insider buying is adding a notable signal around Sierra Madre Gold and Silver Ltd. (Ticker: SM.v or SMDRF for US investors) following the closing of its Del Toro Silver Mine acquisition from First Majestic Silver Corp.

On June 22, 2026, Sierra Madre and First Majestic announced the closing of Sierra Madre’s previously announced acquisition of First Majestic Del Toro, S.A. de C.V., a wholly owned First Majestic subsidiary that holds a 100% interest in the Del Toro Silver Mine in Mexico.

According to recent insider filings, Kenneth Arthur Scott, a senior officer of the issuer, acquired 84,750 common shares at $1.30 each for a total of $110,175, bringing his new balance to 184,750 shares.

The filings also show that CEO Alex Langer acquired 129,750 common shares at $1.30 each for a total of $168,675, bringing his new balance to 4,417,028 shares. Both transactions were dated June 22, 2026 and filed on June 24, 2026.

That insider buying adds a stronger signal around the Del Toro acquisition.

It shows senior leadership increasing exposure to Sierra Madre at the same time the company is adding a past-producing silver asset with existing infrastructure, planned resource expansion drilling, and potential restart upside.

The Del Toro acquisition expands Sierra Madre’s Mexico-focused precious metals portfolio, which also includes the La Guitarra silver-gold mine in the Temascaltepec mining district and the Tepic Project in Nayarit.

Del Toro brings existing production infrastructure and a defined next step. Sierra Madre has outlined approximately 30,000m of planned resource expansion drilling, with the program expected to support an updated Mineral Resource estimate and a potential mine restart.

Langer described the closing as an important step in Sierra Madre’s path toward becoming a mid-tier silver producer.

He highlighted Del Toro as a complementary addition to the company’s portfolio, with potential for resource growth and a possible return to cash flow generation.

Sierra Madre’s portfolio also includes La Guitarra, a permitted underground silver-gold mine with a 500 tpd processing facility. La Guitarra operated until mid-2018 and restarted commercial production in January 2025.

The company also holds the +2,600 ha Tepic Project, which hosts low-sulphidation epithermal gold and silver mineralization with an existing historic resource.

With Del Toro now closed, Sierra Madre has added another Mexico-based silver asset with existing infrastructure, planned resource expansion drilling, and potential restart upside. Combined with recent insider buying from senior leadership and Sierra Madre’s existing La Guitarra and Tepic assets, the update adds another layer to the company’s precious metals growth strategy in Mexico.

Posted on behalf of Getty Copper Inc. - Yesterday, Getty Copper (Ticker: GTC.v) announced the first assay results from its 2026 exploration program at the company’s 82%-owned Getty Project in the Highland Valley District of central British Columbia.

The results come from Getty North, where the company is advancing drilling designed to support a future resource estimate and potentially expand the Getty North porphyry copper deposit.

The first three holes reported from the current program returned consistent copper mineralization, including a broad near-surface intercept in hole GN26-01 of 342m grading 0.50% copper, 87 ppm molybdenum and 0.8 g/t silver from 9m depth.

That interval included 108m of 0.70% copper, 90 ppm molybdenum and 1.0 g/t silver from 12m, as well as 135m of 0.55% copper, 132 ppm molybdenum and 1.0 g/t silver from 186m.

Getty also reported results from hole GN26-04, another resource confirmation hole, which intersected 278m grading 0.38% copper, 46 ppm molybdenum and 0.4 g/t silver from 22m depth, including 150m of 0.51% copper, 58 ppm molybdenum and 0.5 g/t silver from 66m.

GN26-01 and GN26-04 are the first of eight planned resource confirmation holes, intended to collect a multi-element assay suite for use in upgrading the historic resource estimate to a modern standard.

The company also reported expansion drilling from hole GN26-03, which returned 170.8m grading 0.24% copper, 50 ppm molybdenum and 0.3 g/t silver from 408.2m downhole, approximately 300m below surface.

This interval included 45.9m of 0.40% copper, 133 ppm molybdenum and 0.4 g/t silver from 408.2m.

CEO Ryan O’Regan noted that hole GN26-03 is a 65m step-out beyond previous drilling, suggesting the potential to add tonnes at Getty North.

Overall, these initial results from Getty North highlight the potential of the company’s Highland Valley district claim package.

Getty’s near-term focus is improving the data quality for Getty North for a future resource and seeking to expand the size of the deposit.

The ongoing 2026 program is planned for up to 16,000m of drilling across resource and exploration targets.

A total of 14 holes have been completed at Getty North to date, with results from the first three holes reported in this release.

Drilling is also ongoing at Getty South, and O’Regan highlighted that GTC is, "advancing a portfolio of exploration targets across the district to be ready for drilling in the fall."
